Chapter 217
Clarence had turned speechless as he looked at Mason’s conniving appearance.
How is this a God of War who commands troops in battlefields?!
He is obviously a scheming, cruel old fox in the industry!
Still, Clarence only kept that to himself without letting a hint of disrespect show.
When Mason didn’t get a reply, he narrowed his eyes and asked lightly, “How is it? Does my plan sound like a good one?”
“It is a good idea.” Clarence pondered before mumbling, “But where can I find someone who is willing to buy and take over the Clark Corporation now?”
At that point, he suddenly thought of something and he said excitedly, “Wait a minute! Reene Wynn! She owes the family a favor!”
He hurriedly got up from the floor and bowed to Mason again and again. “Thank you for your advice, Sir! I am going to bring my father together to meet Reene!”
“I will go with you.” Mason stood up from the sofa with his hands behind his back. “I doubt you can make her willingly purchase the company with your ability.”
Clarence was overjoyed when he heard this. “You are really our savior, Sir!” he gratefully blurted out.
After a while, Henry, who heard the news, came to the living room with the help of a few young adults from the family.
His face was ashen and his voice trembled when he asked, “Is… Is there a way to save our family?”
Seeing him out of sorts and possibly near death, Clarence hurriedly said, “Dad, it might be better for you to wait at home. Don’t worry. We will definitely find a way out of this crisis!”
“Okay. Go ahead, then…” Henry raised his hand weakly. “You are our family’s only hope now.”
After getting one of the youngsters of the family to drive, Clarence and Mason headed to Reene’s villa together.
In less than half an hour during their journey there, Mason had already drafted a comprehensive acquisition contract.
Clarence couldn’t help but be amazed looking at the electronic contract on the phone. “If I didn’t know you are Ares, the God of War, I would have thought you are a veteran who has been in the business industry half your life!”
Mason only smiled without saying anything.
Just like what Clarence said, he indeed was the co-President of 24 companies in the past. That should qualify him as a senior in the business world!
Presently, Clarence pressed the doorbell.
However, Kingsley was the one who came and opened the door.
Reene had been so busy these days with the work she hadn’t done during the hospitalization that Kingsley practically took over with helping her at home.
Clarence immediately rolled his eyes when he saw Kingsley. He then barked, “Where is Reene? We have something to talk to her about!”
He barged into the living room as he spoke.
He first respectfully offered Mason a seat on the sofa before he himself plopped down on it.
After a while, Reene, who heard the commotion, came down from the study on the second floor and exclaimed in surprise, “Uncle Clarence? What brings you here?”
“I have some business with you!” He took out his mobile phone and sent the electronic contract to her, thereafter saying firmly, “Type out a proper contract and have it signed.”
“Sign? Contract?” Reene’s confusion was written all over her face.
“The acquisition contract for the Clark Corporation!”
Even though Clarence sounded forceful, his heart was wavering with uncertainty.
He didn’t know if Reene’s gratitude toward the Wynns’ was enough for her to agree to sign the contract.
“Reene.” Kingsley’s nonchalant voice rang out all of a sudden. “Did you forget about the bet I made with Henry? It seems like they are here to fulfill the bet.”
Clarence was instantly awake the moment he heard those words.
How did I forget about the bet?! he cheered as his hand landed heavily on his thigh.
“Yes, yes. We are here to fulfill the bet!” He quickly added, “The Clark Corporation will be yours after you sign the contract!”
In truth, the Clark Corporation now owed the bank 50 million!
Clarence wouldn’t mind it if Reene didn’t give him a single cent as long as she was willing to take over that hopeless case of a company!
However, she frowned slightly at that. “Uncle Clarence, I have heard the news about the company. Everyone is working together to keep it stagnant. I can’t help even if I were to take over it.”
Clarence quietly sighed after she said that.
Just like he had expected, she was no fool.
He then turned to look at Mason pleadingly. “Sir…”
Mason smiled confidently but just as he was about to say something, Kingsley abruptly spoke first. “Reene, he even personally delivered the contract to our doorstep. You should just take all the shares.
Both Clarence and Reene fell silent then, but the latter soon informed him, “It is not as simple as you think, Kingsley.” With a serious tone, she continued, “All the business leaders in Cleapolis are sanctioning the Clark Corporation. Taking over the company at a time like this means I am going against them…”
